Vineland police say the teen attempted to flee after his vehicle was stopped.

VINELAND — An East Garden Road teen was arrested on charges alleging he possessed 5 grams of crack cocaine following a traffic stop at Landis and Valley avenues early Tuesday.

Police stopped the car shortly after 2 a.m. after observing it crossing into the opposite lane of travel and moving between lanes on several occasions, according to Ptl. James Day’s report.

Police allege the driver, identified as Jose A. Vicente, 19, threw six bags of crack cocaine, stored in a larger bag, to the ground under the car after he was asked to exit the car and attempted to run away.

Vicente was charged with possession of crack cocaine and possession of crack cocaine with intent to distribute. He also was charged with resisting arrest and obstruction of justice, and was issued a Camden warrant and motor vehicle summonses for possession of a controlled dangerous substance in a motor vehicle, failure to maintain lane, driving while suspended, and driving a vehicle with unclear license plates.

Bail on the charges and warrant totaled $30,250, according to police.

A passenger in the car at the time of the traffic stop was not arrested, police said.Vicente asked to be taken to the hospital because “his entire body hurt from this officer beating him,” according to Day’s report.

Vicente had been forcibly placed into handcuffs when Day took him to the ground after he tried to run from the traffic stop. He also was pepper-sprayed when he refused to exit Day’s police cruiser at the police station, according to the report.
